YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT
PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY
We have previously delivered to you proxy materials in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareowners of Kellogg Company (“Kellogg” or the “Company”) to be held on April 23, 2010. Our records indicate we have not yet received your vote for the 2010 Annual Meeting. Your vote is important. Please vote today to ensure your shares are represented at this important meeting.
As a participant in a Kellogg employee plan holding Kellogg common stock, you may vote on the following proposals:
| 1. | election of directors (term expires 2013); |
| 2. | ratification of the appointment of PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, as Kellogg’s independent registered accounting firm for fiscal year 2010; and |
| 3. | a shareowner proposal to adopt simple majority vote. |
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the director nominees in proposal #1, “FOR” proposal #2, and “AGAINST” proposal #3. The Board’s rationale for these recommendations is set forth in our proxy statement.
To vote your shares held in the Company’s employee plans, please follow the directions on the enclosed proxy card. Your vote regarding plan shares must be received as soon as possible.
If you also hold shares in a brokerage account and/or in your own name, you received separate proxy card(s) to vote those shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting, follow the instructions on each proxy card that you receive.
